I cannot SSH into my instance - Operation timed out. What could be the reasons why, and what can I do to resolve it? Rebooting normally takes a long time to take effect, and might just makes things worst

UPDATE: It is not about permissions - i can log in normally just fine. I suspect it might be because of memory issues
